On the third weekend in September the two sister towns near the Lorelei rock, St. Goar with castle Rheinfels and St. Goarshausen with the castles Katz (cat) and Maus (mouse), celebrate their yearly wine festival.
The three day wine festival in St. Goar starts on Friday and ends on Sunday. During the wine festival a special event is integrated with the nostalgic name "Jahrmarkt der Jahrhundertwende" ("Year market of the turn of the century"). St. Goarshausen celebrates its wine week.

An absolute highlight of both wine festivals is the in Germany and further away known Light spectacle "Rhine river in flames" / "Rhine river aflame" - The night of the Lorelei rock on Saturday evening. More than ten thousands of visitors yearly gather on both sides of the Rhine river banks and more than 70 boats with about 30,000 boat cruise parade guests on the Rhine river between St. Goar and St. Goarshausen. Since 1949 the firework display belongs to a fixed part of the event calendar of both towns.

Firework Rhine in Flames St. Goar, 2000-09-16-72-st-goar-450, � 2000 WHO At about 8:45 p.m. the first rocket will be ignited from a boat. This rocket builds a prelude to a firework display of the superlative. One after the other, four firework displays begin from the castle Katz (cat) near St. Goarshausen, from the head of the harbor in St. Goar, from the castle Rheinfels (biggest castle ruin in the Rhineland) near St. Goar and from a ferry. In front of the non-reappearing scenery, the fireworks draw exploding pictures in the nightly sky above the romantic Rhine river valley gorge with its steep hills, the illuminated towns and the brightly lighted castles. During this show, many a visitors feel a cold shower run down their back. The fireworks are also an acoustically impressable experience. On the rock hills the explosion sounds of the firecrackers and rockets re-echo several times. In a more contemplative programm, the firework displays show themselves in especially hot and dry years. Because of fire danger, the fireworks can only be ignited from the ferry.

If you want to experience the magnificent firework from the Rhine river, you should book a place in due time one of the 70 boats which depart to St. Goar and St. Goarshausen from Koblenz / Coblence, Boppard and other starting points to the "Rhine in flames / Rhine aflame - night of the Lorelei rock". Of course, for entertainment and your physical well-being is taken care of during the boat parade cruise.
